Republican Organization.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals
A call for Republican national conventio
to meet at Chicago June 10. 1885, brings before
US, for our best thought and action. party organ
ization and nominations. The national cali di-
reefs that delegates from the District of Co
lumbia shall be chosen at a convention consti.
tuted of members elected in primary district
assemblies, held under the call and direction of
the Republican central committee of said dis
srict"
1 wish every delegate could have been selected
in the same way. It is toe late to discuss the
manner of selecting the l52 delegates at large.
AS to them the call desig1ates. But the $50
dist rict delegates yet be selected in truly
Republican method. 1 would favor choosing
each of them at uniform time. after the
manner prescribed for the Dis trict of Columbia.
1 would also have all who attend the primary
assemblies ballot for candidates ard have such
ballots summarized by congressional districts
and counted the petition of the crank and
ile' to the national convention. This would
enable Repu blicans to have a free vote and
fair count Sho uld majority of those who at
tend the prmar assemblies ballot for one can
didate 70 President or Vice president let him
be our nominee. Otherwise, let the delegates
sc lected decide, and every true Repu blcan
will accept the result and help elect the ticket
In this township, for the election of 1856, the
Republicans nominated a ticket as follows: On
Friday evening preceding the first Monday of
April. a mass meeting of Republicans was held
at every schoo-house, and at DESIGNATED place
In every ward in Rensselaer,. At each meeting
delegate selected by majority ballot
and ballot for candidates taken and counted.
On Saturday, at p. NJ, the delegates so chosen
met in convention and summarized the votes of
the primary assemblies. A trustee was nomi-
mated by a majority of ballots The delegates
were authorized and did nominate the residue
of the ticket. The nominations were eminently
satisfactory, and would recommend similar
course in every township in the county and
State where it is deemed wise nominate q
Republican ticket next April
Each primary assembly can make their dele
gate TO the township convention offcio a
member of the precinct committee. When they
meet TO select a ticket, let them also select by
ballot q chairman for each precinct committee
who SHALL by virtue of his position, be q mem
Der of the county executive com niittee. Let
the chairman of the several precinct committees
elect Republican voters not of their own mem
hers, for chairman. secretary, and treasurer OF
the county executive committee, and the organ
ization is complete
In the primary Republican assemblies all de-
Lucrative results should receive theaprroval of
q majority of those present. The "wheelers"
might be consulted as TO the precinct and county

The Comte de Paris manifesto is a
very verbose message. coming In a
most inopportune time. Monarchical
proclamations in France during the
past few years have been quite numer-
GUS, but us a general thing they have
proven harmless. Plon Plon's pro-
ductions and Victoria Napolcon's Of
forts have tailed to reanimate tho
dead fire OF ..royalists or Bonaparlist
enthusiasm. The French people have
been too busy rogencrating their
army and improving their industrial
and social condition to give much at.
tention to these cruptions of pretcns
dants to throne now set aside. The

1907 and 1900 composed no stanza in hon
or of this memorable day. This social cold
ness came in part from the general serious.
ness of religious works As whom the
plague reigned in Europe, or In London,
all gayety ceased, all halls of art and pleas
ure became empty and remained closed, so
when Protestant and Catholic lived in n
hot warfare of words and violence, all tho
forms OF gladness suffered and Christmas de-
clined, not only because of the hardness OF
Puritan dogma, but also because of the &C.
verify of the age. The wedding-feast, music
and the theater suffered along with the last
days OF December Melancholy sermons
and doleful poetry were more popular in
early America than Christmas gifts and
Christmas wreatha The inner life expresses
itself In some external symbols
These December daya still stand ns tho
picture of modern civilization. The run
ming to md fro in street and shop, tho
crowded cars, the hurrying carriages with
wives or mothers or sisters or truc-lovos
inside, the evergreen trees in the market
places, the hilarlty of the old and the
young, the happier face of each laboring
man, each clerk, each sewing girl, proclaim
the tremendous change civilization has
undergone since Saint Alexander, Calvin,
Edwards and whiteded 1t is as though
were now asking Christmas to be the
emblem of their spirit or the mirror to
catch their images Looking in to our good
day so near at hand, we can see the picture
of Nation Mt peace and almost loaded
down with prosperity.
If any members of the new generation
would learn the superiority of 1887 over
the bygone years they can reach their In.
formation by marking those four Christ
masses which came In those four winters
when million men were encamped upon
the battle fields between the Potomac and
the Rio Grande. few soldiers came home
to meet, for week, the blessed ones by
the old fire-slde, but the vast multitude
were compelled to pass the sacred day in
camp or upon the laborious march Thou
sands were in the grave when those morn
ings dawned The bloody battle of Freder-
icksburg was fought only a few days before
the coming of thnt joyous festival; and
Stone River and Holly Springs came in
those days in which Joy was accustomed to
make home more of aparadise. Thousands
of Christmas presents were on their way
